What is the equivalent position at FB and Uber? I have 12 yoe and Google offering me L4. Do you think it would look bad on my resume if after a year I interview at FB? Would they question why i am still L4?
L5 = Senior SWE L6 = Staff SWE
Is L4 terminal level at Google for most people?

Facebook will ask what your level was at Google
L4 is a junior position generally equivalent to E4 at Facebook but there’s a lot of variation, many Senior L4 is more like E5. You could potentially get E5 at Facebook now.
I am getting Uber 5a and Google L4 offers. Are they equivalent?
There’s some overlap at the top of L4 but strictly speaking L4 is not a senior role, so no. Google does not care to match levels at other places. If you’re mainly worried about title (not saying you shouldn’t be) then don’t come here. I am L4 with 18 months work experience.
How can they offer someone with 12 years experience L4. Why are you accepting L4?
Looks like OP has never work in the FANG
Does that matter?
Maybe you 12 yrs were in some shitty company. If you had 12 yrs in MS+FB they'll be more than happy to offer T5
This.
I worked at worlds top University and then was a contractor. I have personally launched 10+ apps as side projects. It’s sad that FANG thinks if experience is not from FANG it’s shit.
L4 is now the terminal level at Google.

How bad is it in meta?
There are companies like that but Google is not one of them.
